Excellent cut quality

Reducing the amount of re-cutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.

Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds

Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.

Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal re-cutting, and an even distribution of clippings.

Productivity - gets the job done fast

Side-discharge chute on Accel Deep 42A Mower Deck

Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of re-cutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:

Versatility - easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes

Rear MulchControl baffle (A) that must be removed for bagging

Rear MulchControl baffle removed to allow for chute installation

The 42A Mower Deck is designed for excellent versatility:

The mower's cut-and-throw design allows bagging with just the addition of the bagger chute, once the special bagging blades have been installed.

The 42A cut-and-throw chute is easy to install and securely held in place at the front and rear to provide a tight seal between the mower deck and the chute.

The rear latch is adjustable to allow for the optimum setting for easy use and a tight seal.

The bagging blades can be used for side discharging also.

With an optional lever action or electric one-touch MulchControl attachment installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from side-discharging to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever or touch of a switch.

The rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades installed.

The front baffle, either the one included with the rear bagger chute or the one included with MulchControl (B), can remain in place for side discharging.

For ultimate side-discharge performance this baffle can be removed.

An optional MulchControl attachment includes a rear MulchControl baffle (A), held in place by two carriage bolts, at the rear edge of the discharge opening. This baffle:

Must be removed for installation of the rear bagger chute, a 13-mm (0.51-in.) wrench is required (the bagger chute cannot be installed without removing this baffle)

Can remain removed for side discharging material

Must be re-installed for mulching

MulchControl lever action or electric one-touch options

A MulchControl attachment for the 42A Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

How MulchControl works

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.

When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.

When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

Lever action MulchControl handle

Electric one-touch MulchControl switch

With the lever-action MulchControl attachment, the MulchControl handle on top of the mower deck is used to engage or disengage mulch mode.

The operator is required to get off of the tractor in order to engage or disengage mulch mode with the lever-action system.

With an electric one-touch MulchControl attachment, an electric switch on the tractor dash is used to engage or disengage mulch mode.

Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long

Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings

Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns

Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags

MulchControl limitations

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda

When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States

When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired

42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see explanation in the Versatility section for more information

7-bu (247-L) rear bagger

Optional rear bagger

Lower chute installed

An optional 7-bu (247-L) cut-and-throw rear bagger material collection system (MCS) is available for use with the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep Mower. It provides an efficient means of collecting grass clippings and leaves.

Deck-leveling gauge is placed at the appropriate location under the left rear, right rear, and front of the mower deck as the cut height is adjusted using the Exact Adjust tool and front draft arm adjusting nuts.

Operator station is comfortable and convenient

Operator station

Serviceability is convenient with easy-open hood

One-piece hood is easy to open

Service interval decal located under hood

The one-piece hood opens easily to permit checking and servicing the engine:

Important service points are located within easy reach.

A service-interval decal is provided inside the tractor hood for convenience when servicing the tractor.

The high-quality engine used in the X300 Series does not require an 8-hour oil and filter change because improvements in the manufacturing process and quality of parts, components, and oils have eliminated the need for the short interval oil change requirement.

Easy-to-service engine fuel and oil filters

The engine fuel and oil filters, the oil check/fill tube, and the oil drain tube are exposed for serviceability when the hood is opened.

A mower deck must be level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear to give the best cutting performance. A removable on-board deck-leveling gauge and a hex-key tool are provided to make adjustment easy. They are securely stored under the tractor seat.

Exact Adjust leveling ports are provided on each side of the operator platform above the mower-level adjusting bolts. With the hex-shaped tool, they provide convenient access to allow quick and easy adjustment of the mower for the best-cut quality of cut.

The Exact Adjust feature is standard on all Select Series™ X300 and X500 Tractors:

There is no need to reach under the fender deck while making the mower-level adjustment.

Exact Adjust simplifies leveling the mower deck if equipped with a Power Flow™ blower.

To give the best cut, mower level should be adjusted if alternately mowing with and without blower installed. The Exact Adjust feature makes this easy.

Deck-leveling tool placed under deck

Using included ball-hex tool to level mower deck

Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:

Park the tractor on a level surface.

Inflate tires to the correct pressure.

Consult the label for the cutting-height knob that is located on the console of the machine. This label shows deck-leveling position and location of deck-leveling adjustment points.

Cut height adjusting knob

Set mower cutting-height knob to the correct deck-leveling position.

For X300 models, use position 2.75

For all other models, use position 2.5

Adjust mower wheels as necessary so they do not contact the ground surface.

Remove the onboard deck-leveling gauge that is located under the seat.

Using the Exact Adjust ports and tool, adjust mower deck side-to-side level so the deck-leveling gauge just slips under the left and right lower deck rim at the designated adjustment points. The location of adjustment points will vary slightly between decks.

Left- and right-rear adjustment points are under the deck rim near the rear mower wheels, if equipped.

Adjust mower deck front-to-back level, if necessary.

Loosen rear nuts equally on each side of front lift rod.

Turn front nut equally on each side clockwise to raise front of mower or counterclockwise to lower it until gauge just slips under the front adjustment point.

Tighten rear nuts after adjustment is complete.

Return the gauge to its storage position.

NOTE: The adjusting tool supplied with the tractor is an 8-mm ball-hex key, part number M162737. The rounded end allows for some misalignment with the bolt as the deck is adjusted.

Frame is reliable heavy-duty welded steel

Welded, heavy-duty frame

The frame is made of heavy formed and welded steel, reinforced in critical areas for even greater strength:

The frame is formed from 12-gauge, 0.105-in. (2.66-mm) thick material for long life.

Standard front bumper and hitch plate are formed from 9-gauge, 0.15-in. (3.8-mm) steel and complete the frame assembly.

Rear hitch plate can support two 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch weights.

Weight bracket is built into the frame of two-wheel-steer models.

Four-wheel-steer models require the optional weight bracket.

Hydraulic lift system is easy to operate

Hydraulic lift

The hydraulic lift control lever is positioned on the dash near the steering wheel for quick, easy, and precise fingertip control of equipment. Implement float, which allows an implement to follow the ground contour, is built into the lift linkage.

Lever-action or electric one-touch MulchControl™ options are available for extra mowing convenience

MulchControl advantages and benefits

MulchControl enhances versatility and productivity. A mower deck equipped with MulchControl not only does an excellent job of mowing and mulching, but it can also be quickly converted from side discharging to mulching or vice versa:

Reduces the amount of material entering a material collection system because, even in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will mulch about one third of the material due to the additional baffles under the mower deck and the unique design of the mulching blades.

Electric MulchControl has the additional advantage of being controlled from the tractor seat by a switch on the dash to operate an electric actuator that moves the baffle to close off the discharge area of the mower deck.

Electric one-touch MulchControl switch

Electric one-touch MulchControl actuator

Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it practical to change between modes as conditions require.

When approaching clean areas like driveways or flowerbeds where clippings would be undesirable

When a breeze might blow clippings back onto the operator

For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too thick for mulching

With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, for collecting only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching

Models equipped with a 42A Mower Deck require a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see 42A Mower Deck versatility explanation for more information.

Changing from one mode to the other takes only a few seconds.

How MulchControl works

A mower equipped with a MulchControl attachment delivers unprecedented levels of productivity and versatility. The operator has the ability to quickly change between side discharging and mulching. A heavy-duty baffle opens and closes to convert the mower from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa.

MulchControl baffle open (similar mower deck shown)

MulchControl baffle closed (similar mower deck shown)

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.

When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.

When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long

For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings in some areas

For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns

For operators who collect clippings, but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when desired.

Advantages of MulchControl include:

Performance is improved.

Mulching is beneficial because it returns the clippings to the ground as fertilizer, which promotes lawn growth.

Clippings are much smaller, which allows them to fall into the grass and be removed from view.

Unsightly grass clippings are not blown onto driveways or into flower beds.

Fertilizer use is reduced and provides associated environmental benefits.

Uptime is increased.

Operators can convert quickly between modes, making it possible to change between mulching and side discharging as conditions require.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda

When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States

Additional weight can be added to the vehicle by the following methods:

The chute is a two-piece design to allow easy installation at the mower deck, without the rear of the chute being encumbered by the hopper.

A convenient handle is included on the top section of the chute to make installation and removal easier.

The top section of the chute slides into the flexible hose that is attached to the hopper and is held securely to the bottom section with an easy-to-use bungee cord.

A fill indicator tells the operator when the bags are getting full.

Major components included with bagger chute

Toe guard with chute-install features and front baffle installed

The rear bagger chute attachment includes special bagging blades, a toe guard (A) with features for installing the bagger chute, and a front bagger baffle (B) to direct the material rearward into the bagger chute:

The replacement toe guard is intended to remain on the mower deck and to be used for any mower application - bagging, side discharging, or mulching.

A baffle to narrow the side-discharge opening (where the bagger chute is installed on the mower deck) and direct the material into the chute is provided with the rear bagger chute and needs to be bolted underneath the deck at the front.

This baffle may remain in place when the bagger chute is removed for side discharging material, however for ultimate side-discharge performance it could be removed.

This front baffle included with the bagger chute attachment is not required if the mower deck is equipped with the MulchControl™ attachment. The MulchControl front baffle can remain with the gate open for bagging and serves the same purpose.

Chute front pin inserted in tube located at end of toe guard

Lower chute installed

Installing the chute is easy:

First, slide the front mounting pin into the tube that is on the front end of the toe guard.

Next, swing the chute toward the back and lock it in place at the rear.

Rear chute latch

Front mounting pin

The bagger chute is securely held in place at the front and rear to provide a tight seal between the mower deck and the chute.

The rear latch is adjustable to allow for the optimum setting for easy use and a tight seal.

When a mower deck is equipped with both the optional MulchControl attachment and a rear bagger

Rear MulchControl baffle (A) that must be removed for bagging

Rear MulchControl baffle removed to allow for chute installation

The operator's manuals provided with the rear bagger chute and the MulchControl attachment should be used as the primary guide, however these tips may be helpful to keep in mind:

Both the rear bagger chute and the MulchControl attachment come with a baffle that bolts inside the mower deck along the front edge to narrow the discharge opening, which has been optimized for side discharging material, and direct the material into the bagger chute.

If the mower deck is equipped with MulchControl, the front bagger baffle included with the bagger chute is not used.

The front baffle, either the one included with the rear bagger chute or the one included with MulchControl (B), can remain in place for side discharging.

For ultimate side-discharge performance this baffle can be removed.

The optional MulchControl attachment includes a rear MulchControl baffle (A), held in by two carriage bolts, at the rear edge of the discharge opening. This baffle:

Must be removed for installation of the rear bagger chute, a 13-mm (0.51-in.) wrench is required (the bagger chute cannot be installed without removing this baffle)

Can remain removed for side discharging material

Must be re-installed for mulching

Mower blades

Mower blades shipped with the rear bagger chute

High lift bagging blades are included with the chute. They provide optimum performance when bagging in difficult conditions, such as when the grass is moist, dense, or long:

High-lift bagging blades also work well when side discharging material.

Mulching blades are included with the MulchControl attachment. They can be used for mulching, side discharging, and bagging in most conditions.

MCS 7 Dump-from-Seat Hopper, X300 with 7-bu (247-L) Hopper - LP47168

Dump from the seat capability for X300 Series Tractors

MCS 7

The MCS 7 attachment is designed to provide dump from the seat grass collection/expulsion for John Deere X300 Series Tractors equipped with the 2-bag material collection system (MCS). The MCS attachment eliminates the need to get off of the tractor and empty the bags. As a result, it will increase both efficiency and cleanliness in the mowing process.

The aluminum body is lightweight and easy to handle. Conveniently located hand lever and smooth release and latching system are easily accessed from the tractor seat. Because it is engineered specifically for the John Deere MCS, installation is a breeze with simple hand tools.

Light is designed for mounting on rear fender by drilling a hole in the desired location.

40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel - LP63767

Tractor shovel in raised position

Tractor shovel in emptying position

The 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel expands the usefulness of any John Deere Select SeriesTM X300 or X500 Multi-Terrain Tractor by allowing it to pick up and move material. It utilizes a high-capacity electric actuator that provides lift, lower, dump, and down force functions. No front blade is required.

The tractor shovel takes the back-breaking labor out of jobs like moving mulch, spreading gravel, ground grading, and more. It installs using the tractor's existing frame holes. After initial installation, it can be removed or installed without tools.

The innovative opening design of the tractor shovel, combined with the lift height, assures complete emptying of material. The tractor shovel can also be used for scraping and grading by locking the shovel in the raised position.

Tractor recommendations and requirements:

Rear tractor ballast recommended for improved traction

Tire chains recommended for moving snow

No tractor requirements

Key features:

Can be used when upper part of shovel is locked in the raised position as a blade (without angling capability)

Fuel-Protect for gasoline engines, 8 oz (237 mL) - TY27534

8-oz Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer

John Deere Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer is a unique formula developed to ensure optimum performance and protection year-round:

Has corrosion preventers

For lawn and garden equipment and other gasoline-powered vehicles

Ensures quick starts in all two- and four-cycle engines

Use in gasoline, gasoline-oil mixture, and ethanol blends

Use to treat gas cans at each fill-up or use at every fill-up of vehicle

Keeps fuel fresh for 12 months

Contains a fuel injector and carburetor cleaner

1 oz treats 2 gal.

Always use fuel stabilizer in your gasoline.

Fuel sitting in gas tanks or gas containers for more than 30 days begins to degrade. Also, blended fuels and water in gasoline can form acids that corrode fuel-system components. Protect your investment - use John Deere fuel stabilizer with corrosion preventers and prevent hard starting, surging, lack of power, poor idle, flooding, and will not run or stay running conditions caused by poor-quality fuel. Ask your local John Deere dealer or visit JDParts.

Helpful tips:

Add fuel stabilizer every time you purchase fuel.

Deere gasoline-powered equipment is recommended to run on a minimum of 87 octane gasoline.

John Deere Fuel-Protect for gasoline is safe to use in all types of gasoline, including gasoline/oil mixtures and blended fuels containing up to 10 percent ethanol.

Use plastic fuel containers to store fuel; ask your local John Deere dealer.

For best results, use a spill-proof gas can that automatically seals the gas can vent.

Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed fuel can.

Fill tank to the top every time the machine is put away.

Make sure tank is drained if stored for the winter or treated if left for prolonged periods of time.

Please refer to the operator’s manual for additional recommendations and warranty information.

Fuel related issues are not considered a warrantable condition as there is no defect in the materials or workmanship of the machine.

Mulch Kits

42A MulchControl attachment - BM24794

MulchControl advantages and benefits

Z335E ZTrak™ with Accel Deep Mower

X350 Tractor with Accel Deep Mower

MulchControl for the 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep (42A) Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

How MulchControl works

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

MulchControl includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.

When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.

When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

MulchControl baffle closed

MulchControl handle

The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.

The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.

Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long

Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings

Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns

Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when needed.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda

When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States

When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired

42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute; see 42A versatility explanation for more information

42A electric one-touch MulchControl attachment - BUC10164

MulchControl advantages and benefits

Mower equipped with electric one-touch MulchControl

One-touch MulchControl switch

The 42-in. (107-cm) electric one-touch MulchControl attachment enhances versatility and productivity. A mower deck equipped with electric one-touch MulchControl not only does an excellent job of mowing and mulching, but it can also be quickly converted to side discharge or mulch mode with the touch of a switch:

Easily converts while mowing from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa

Will reduce the amount of material entering a material collection system because, even in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will mulch about one third of the material due to the additional baffles under the mower deck

How electric one-touch MulchControl works

A tractor equipped with the electric one-touch MulchControl attachment delivers unprecedented levels of productivity and versatility. A convenient, dash-mounted switch provides operators the ability to change between side discharging and mulching. A heavy-duty discharge baffle opens and closes easily with the touch of the dash-mounted switch.

MulchControl electric switch

MulchControl electric actuator

A dependable electric actuator is used to close and open the discharge baffle. The mower deck can easily be converted from side discharge mode to mulch mode or vice versa in a few seconds by activating the switch.

MulchControl baffle open

MulchControl baffle closed

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

MulchControl includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.

When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material passes through the discharge opening.

When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

The MulchControl electric switch used to open and close the discharge baffle is located on the tractor dash.

The operator is not required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.

MulchControl is well suited to the following mowing situations:

For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long

For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings

For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharging when desired.

With electric one-touch MulchControl, operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it practical to change between modes as conditions require:

When approaching clean areas like driveways or flowerbeds where clippings would be undesirable

When a breeze might blow clippings back onto the operator

For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching

Advantages of MulchControl include:

Performance is improved.

Mulching is beneficial because it returns the clippings to the ground as fertilizer, which promotes lawn growth.

Clippings are much smaller, which allows them to fall into the grass and be removed from view.

Unsightly grass clippings are not blown onto driveways or into flower beds.

Fertilizer use is reduce and provides associated environmental benefits.

Uptime is increased.

Operators can convert quickly between modes, making it possible to change between mulching and side discharging as conditions require.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

Excellent product

5/5

I have owned my X370 for 1 year and have 49 hours on it. I bought it to replace my 20 year old STX38 that had a worn out front end. The cut is amazing, love the power steering as I have about 20 trees and 2 buildings to mow around on 2 acres. The only downside is the 18.5 kawasaki uses twice as much fuel as the 13.5 kohler in the STX38. I look forward to using this machine whenever i can.

This will not be disappointed

5/5

I replaced my old 216 with this X370. I don't like to write a review as soon as I get an item. I like to see how it does over time. I've had my X370 for a year now. All I can say this thing is a beast. There is nothing I've thrown at it, that it has not handled. I actually cut my yard time down by a 3rd and I went from a 48 inch deck to 42 inch. It's fast, smooth and the cut is so flat my lawn looks like a fresh barber brush cut. I'm not easily impressed but I am impressed with the X370.
Now, I also purchased a 44 inch snow thrower with this. I live in central NY south of Lake Ontario. We get lake effect snow and it averages over 100 inches a year. You can not believe the snow this machine can move. I have a 3 car wide driveway and I'm done in about an hour. I've moved snow drifts that were 10 inches the snow thrower. This is a great all year round machine.
I would happily buy this again.

Great buy for the options it offers.

5/5

I've several Deere lawn tractors over the years so I knew what I wanted as "must haves" for when I went shopping. Having previous tractor with power steering and hydraulic deck lift I didn't want to give those up going forward. The X5xx and X7xx were fantastic but way out of my price range. I was hesitant at first...mainly because of the 18HP and 42" deck but now after using this mower and bagging with it I couldn't be more happy with my purchase.
The 42" deck side discharges and bags grass(with optional bagger accessory) fantastic. With the deck leveled per owners manual it cuts our rough (former cattle pasture) yard extremely well. We have very little flat land it's all rolling hills and valleys and the deck almost never scalps our yard, nor misses a blade of grass left uncut! The vacuum of the deck is extremely strong, I let our grass grow long until it starts laying over or starts to go to seed and this deck has no trouble lifting it up and chopping it cleanly off. I've never been able to mow at the speed this X370 is capable of cutting at and still have a clean cut.
The engine has plenty of power to handle the taller grass and bagging setup and doesn't seem to break a sweat doing it. The steering is effortless and turns very tight. The engine looks easy to service for oil & air filter changes.
The tractor is very comfortable to ride and drive. It gets extremely dusty mowing our yard but cleans up like new again with a quick blow off from the leaf blower or a rinse from the garden hose.
My next accesory before winter is the 44 snowblower which I think this tractor will handle very well.
It's actually fun to mow the grass again!

Can you fall in love with a machine?

5/5

This is my first John Deere mower. All I can say is WOW. I had been waiting for my old mower to die so that I could get a John Deere. I studied all of the models and decided on the X370. Really glad that I went with the power steering. You can turn the steering wheel with one finger. When I first got it a few months ago, the grass couldn't grow fast enough for me to get out and mow the yard. I got the mulch kit which does a really nice job if the grass isn't too tall. If the grass is a little tall, I just open the lever and blow the grass out the side. The first oil change was a breeze too. Everything is positioned so that you can get to the filter etc. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star on ease of use is that the hydraulic lift is a little annoying if you have to frequently change the depth of the cut and lift the deck up and down. But that is my problem not the mower's. I hope to have this mower for many many years. Love it.

This is my 3rd JD lawn tractor. We purchased this tractor with hopes to add a snow blower this winter as our son took our last one to Wisconsin. We are impressed with the power and the slick power steering. I would however not suggest the power deck lift as it skins our lawn as it does not seem to float. JD stands for quality! Thank you

Fantastic mower

5/5

Never owned a riding mower before so I cant compare to other mowers, all I can say is my lawn has never looked better! The mulching option is fantastic, no clumps what so ever. Took me a couple of minutes to figure out the controls but no issue at all. The seat is comfortable and makes mowing relaxing.
